How much CO2 we can save by using recycled paper

Did you know that for every 20 cases of 30% post-consumer copy paper purchased over virgin paper you will save the environment one metric ton of carbon dioxide! Well, this translates to one pound of CO2 is saved with every 50 pages of recycled paper you use instead of virgin paper.
Even better is to not use the paper or print the paper on both sides. Use double sided printing on 50 pages and save one pound of CO2 to be released to the atmosphere. THAT"S easy!!
